After Zhao Jun dealt with the internal affairs of the Imperial City Division, he went to Fan's Mansion.

As a result, as soon as he came out of Donghua Gate, he met the housekeeper of Yan Shu's mansion who was squatting outside Donghua Gate, and the housekeeper gave him a letter.

Obviously, the matter of copying "Linjiang Immortal" made Yan Shu very angry, even if he hid in the tribute courtyard for three days, he couldn't avoid this scolding.

Zhao Jun was helpless, so he accepted the letter and asked the housekeeper to go back and say sorry to Yan Shu before leaving.

He only finished the exam in the morning, went to Crow Lane in the afternoon to arrest people, and then dealt with the internal affairs of the secretary. It's already dark now, night falls, Bianliang Night Market opens, and the lights are colorful.

Daguan Lane is also very lively at this time, with stalls on the street, night markets, shops, and jugglers coming and going.

Zhao Jun walked all the way through the flow of people and arrived at the door of Fan's Mansion, and after knocking on the door, the housekeeper of Fan's Mansion opened a crack, and when he saw that it was Zhao Jun, he hurriedly said, "Jiajun is waiting for Xiaolang." ”

"Well, thank you."

Zhao Jun greeted politely, and then stepped in.

I got to the main hall all the way, and sure enough, I saw Fan Zhongyan drinking tea in the hall, and he also had a piece of paper in his hand.

"Coming?"

Fan Zhongyan took a sip of tea, raised his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Sit down." ”

"That's how you calculated that I would come?"

Zhao Jun wondered.

Historically, Fan Zhongyan was indeed very smart, such as governing places and calming floods.

Even he can do economics, a certain year in Hangzhou drought, the price of rice skyrocketed, he not only did not suppress, but also raised the price of rice, causing Hangzhou rice to be expensive.

When the common people scolded their mothers, the merchants saw the price of rice in Hangzhou skyrocketing, so they shipped rice to Hangzhou to sell, but because there was too much rice, the price of rice fell to the bottom overnight.

It also engaged in infrastructure construction and invited Buddhist temples and Taoist temples and the government to jointly fund the repair of the temple, so as to drive a large number of industries and promote local economic development.

The reason why people think he is upright is because he has a stubborn personality, and he can't pull back the nine cows when he sees things, and even the prime minister dares to scare him.

But that doesn't mean he's not smart.

But no matter how powerful you are, can you still guess when he will come to him?

Is this a pinch or not?

Fan Zhongyan put down the teacup with a smile and said, "If you talk about knowledge and insight after a thousand years, there are countless differences between me and you. But when it comes to officialdom experience, you are still very tender, and if you encounter some problems, you can only come to me. ”

"Okay."

Zhao Jun had no choice but to sit down and say, "I did encounter some problems. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the piece of paper in Fan Zhongyan's hand, and saw that the first sentence on it was "The building is locked high after the dream", and there is no need to look at it, it is the song "Linjiang Immortal".

Seeing that Zhao Jun saw the poem, Fan Zhongyan smiled and said: "This poem was sent by Uncle Yan Tong, saying that he wrote it, but I don't think so." ”

"Why not?"

"Uncle Yan Tong's style of words is leisurely and elegant, this word is completely different from his style of words, and it is quite a bit deep and affectionate, so it is not, do you know whose it is?"

"I copied his son Yan's Dao, and today I just heard that his son was pregnant some time ago, and someone came over and scolded me."

"Hahahaha."

When Fan Zhongyan heard this, he laughed and said: "No wonder he was in a hurry to write notes everywhere and send them to various homes, saying that he had obtained the first new word, he was afraid that you would steal his son's words, so he pressed it on his head first." ”

Zhao Jun's face was even more embarrassed.

Seeing that his expression seemed to be a little wrong, Fan Zhongyan realized that things might not be simple.

After thinking for a while, Lao Fan slowly stopped his happy smile, stared at Zhao Jun with an unkind face, and said, "You kid won't copy my words too." ”

"That's not the case."

Zhao Jun shook his head again and again and denied it.

"That's good."

Fan Zhongyan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I copied your five-character quatrain and used it to make a test poem."

Zhao Jun said honestly.

"Poof!"

A mouthful of tea squirted out, Zhao Jun turned his head to dodge, but fortunately he hid quickly.

Fan Zhongyan wiped his mouth, his face was wrong at that time, and his expression was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten Ollie.

"Don't be so uncomfortable, I can't help it, I was hurt by Lao Yan, he said that he might test words, but I just wanted to go to the words, and it turned out to be a test poem."

Zhao Jun changed to the seat opposite, and said while sitting: "You also know that I have a good relationship with you, and my mind was full of your poems at that time, so I wrote it easily, anyway, it was also a poem you wrote later, you won't blame me." ”

"So, I have to thank you for remembering me."

Fan Zhong was furious.

"Don't care about these details, by the way, there is a sect girl outside the Xuande Gate, the clan has already reported to Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion has pushed to the head of the Imperial City Division, it is estimated that it will go to the official family tomorrow, can you find someone?"

Zhao Jun waved his hand.

Fan Zhongyan reluctantly suppressed his anger and said: "I have also heard about this, it should be done by Ghost Fan Lou, Ghost Fan Lou never dared to attack the clan before, but now he is taking such a big risk, it may be that the gang of people in Kaifeng Mansion are acting as demons." ”

Although Lao Fan was taken down in April this year because of the impeachment of Lu Yijian, he has worked in Kaifeng Mansion for nearly two years and has cultivated some capable subordinates, and he naturally has his eyeliner in it.

It's not good to say that Zhao Jun only arrested Li Dewen in the afternoon, and the situation has already been reported to Fan Zhongyan here, so Zhao Jun is not surprised why his news can be so well-informed.

The problem is that Li Dewen didn't explain the affairs of the sect daughter, chopped off his fingers, and took the two sons who did not learn and did not know how to operate, Li Dewen had actually explained about it, and he denied the affairs of the sect daughter, and the rest of the things were explained 1510.

According to Li Dewen, this is probably Liao Yu's handiwork. Liao Yu is ruthless, if Zhao Jun directly arrests people, and knows what will happen to the abduction of the sect girl, he is likely to be killed and will not be recognized, and he will never be able to find it back at that time.

Zhao Jun is not a rat trap, he now has all the evidence in his hands, and it doesn't matter if he takes people directly. The main reason is that I am afraid that something will happen to the sect daughter, and it will be difficult to deal with Zhao Zhen, after all, I will harm an ancestor of my own family.

"I don't have much to do now, I can only say that I didn't expect these people to be so mad that even the daughter of the sect would dare to take them away, which is something I never expected."

Zhao Jun scratched his head and said: "I can only think that they should be trying to force the Imperial City Division to comply, and it is impossible to really kill the sect girl, so that sect girl should not have been sent to the Ghost Fan Tower, but Bianliang is so big, it is too difficult to find someone." ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "You can investigate the place where this Liao Yu often haunts first, but he won't do it himself, he should order his subordinates to do it, if I were you, I could use a knife against his subordinates." ”

"I think so too, I have already sent someone to follow his subordinates, and now I am afraid that if I act directly, his subordinates will attack that sect girl and harm people's lives."

"Then you are still so reckless? Directly arrested Li Dewen? ”

"One is to see if Li Dewen has anything to do with the disappearance of this woman, I heard that this person is the most reckless, I suspect that he did it, but I didn't expect it to be not. Second, it is also a startling snake, maybe these people will choose to transfer the sect girl in horror when they see Li Dewen being arrested, so I am waiting for the opportunity to move. ”

"Well, that's right."

"It's a pity that I thought of these two methods for the time being, and I still don't think it's very safe, so I came to you."

Zhao Jun shook his head.

In ancient cases, there were often such abductions of young and beautiful girls, such as the method of Ghost Fan Lou, which was once used on a clan girl during the Xuanhe period, and sold the clan girl to a rich man as a concubine.

This is something recorded in the historical materials, but now in the Jingyou period, the ghost fan building is not so rampant, under normal circumstances, not to mention the daughter of the sect, even the young lady of the official family does not dare to start.

Unexpectedly, in order to bring down the Imperial City Division this time, the people behind it were so mad that Zhao Jun couldn't think about it. So in addition to making preparations, he also had to ask Fan Zhongyan's opinion.

Fan Zhongyan pondered for a moment and said, "There is another way. ”

"What's the method?"

"Although Sanssouci Cave, Ghost Fan Building, Beggars, Ghost Markets and other places are places where small and small places are rampant, most of them are poor people who are homeless and have nowhere to go, and some people are attached to them, specializing in trading items that are prohibited by the government, so they breed ghost markets, and ghost markets not only buy and sell things, but also buy and sell news."

"You mean to let me go to the ghost market to buy news?"

Zhao Jun's eyes widened.

Although the kind of spy news that buys news in later generations can often be seen, it is indeed rare in real life.

Even if the historical materials record the underground underworld forces of the Song Dynasty such as Sanssouci Cave, Ghost Fan Tower, Ghost Market, and Beggars, they often record how vicious they were, what bad things they did, and rarely record the specific situation in them.

So Zhao Jun naturally didn't know about the ghost market news trading.

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "Yes, Ghost Fan Lou likes to place slaves in the mansions of the rich, so as to steal, cheat, abduct property, and Ding Kou. If those rich people want to buy back the kidnapped Miss Childe, they naturally have to ask someone to find a relationship, so this kind of middleman was born. ”

"Got it."

Zhao Jun immediately understood that this so-called intermediary is an insurance for criminals, and if he directly sends someone to talk to someone's mansion, it is not good for someone to report directly to the official and arrest him.

And if there is a middleman, even if it is caught, it is also a middleman, and it has nothing to do with those criminals, so it is naturally convenient and easy to use.

Therefore, this kind of intermediary was generally called a tooth shop in ancient times, and some black tooth shops were engaged in human trafficking and helped traffickers deal with the abducted population, so in ancient times, there was often a saying that "the foot teeth of the car and ship shop should be killed if they are not guilty".

"You can also look up the slave."

"It's already being done."

"It seems that you have done a fairly safe job, and you have already thought of all the solutions you can think of."

"I really don't have a trick, so I can only kill that Liao Yu first, unless this person is so mad that he doesn't even want an heir, otherwise I don't believe that he won't speak."

Zhao Jun shook his head helplessly.

Fan Zhongyan said: "Well, you can do it yourself, but let me remind you, you may have to be careful of Ding Du." ”

"Be careful what he does?"

Zhao Jun wondered.

This old guy is really stubborn, and he has been arguing with Zhao Zhen every day lately, but what's the use?

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "I know the methods of those people in Kaifeng Mansion well, and I also know who is standing behind them, but the people above them will not come forward, so I will definitely find a fool." ”

"That fool is Ding Du?"

"Yes, if I know those people, I will probably use the Imperial City Division to take Li Dewen away, and provoke Na Ding Du to forcibly break into the Imperial City Division to rob people, and you won't be able to open the bow and crossbow at that time?"

"That's a problem."

Zhao Jun frowned, the background of the gang in Kaifeng Mansion Lao Fan had actually told him.

For example, Na Ma Yi, the door is in the shade. He has an uncle named Ma Liang, a big corrupt official at the end of Song Zhenzong and the early days of Renzong, although he has political achievements as an official in the local and imperial courts, but the history books record that he is "incorruptible", which means that wherever he goes, he will fake the public and private welfare to seek his own welfare and make money.

Under the upward and downward effects, of course, the children of the family are also the same. Relying on his own brother Ma Yuan and cousin Ma Zhongfu one in the Yushitai, a judge of the three divisions, and the care of the protégé left by his uncle, Ma Yi did evil in Kaifeng Mansion, and often fought with Liu Yuanzhi and Gao Dingyi for power and profit.

Liu Yuanzhi's background is average, and the family has never had any big officials, but it is said that there are often officials above to take care of him, and he seems to have a lot to do with a certain senior member in the DPRK and China.

The remaining Gao Dingyi is a cronie of Han Yuan, who was originally a proximate, he was just a fellow jinshi and entered the office, but he married a daughter of the Han family and fell on the thigh of the Han family. This Han family is the Han Yi family, and Han Yuan is Han Yi's nephew, and you can see how deep the water in Kaifeng Mansion is from here.

Not only Kaifeng Mansion, but the water up and down the entire court hall is very deep. Like the Ma Liang family and the Han Yi family, they are related to many big officials and magnates in the DPRK and China, so the entire court can be said to be an indescribable network of relationships.

This is also an important reason why Zhao Jun is struggling.

Even Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Wang Sui, who knew his true identity and should support his reform, were all playing tricks in the back, hoping to let him enter the imperial examination and pull him into this big net, not to mention others.

Therefore, if Zhao Jun wants to use a knife against Kaifeng Mansion, he will inevitably touch this big net, and this big net obviously doesn't know his details, so he may not immediately fight him.

Dan Ding Du is now the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and it is very likely that these people will use this person to test Zhao Jun's bottom line.

When the time comes, Ding Du, a foolish official, will be used by others, and he really brings people to the Imperial City Division to rob people, so what should he do?

If he kills him, this Ding Du is indeed a good official, but he is a little stupid.

If he doesn't kill him, Ding Du will lead people to break into the Imperial City Division, if he really lets him snatch people, then the Imperial City Division will lose face, how can he establish his prestige?

"Old Fan, do you have anything to do?"

Zhao Jun looked at Fan Zhongyan.

When it comes to officialdom, he is still more capable.

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will persuade him, but you also have to promise me that after the incident, I will personally make amends to others." After all, without saying hello, it is indeed a bit too much to directly move other people's powers and arrest other people's people. ”

"Okay."

Zhao Jun muttered: "Although I am also helping him clean up the cancer in Kaifeng Mansion, I really arrested someone without consulting him, which is my fault, and I will invite him to have a meal when the time comes." ”

If it is a corrupt official, let alone invite him to dinner, it is not bad not to invite the other party to the Imperial City Division for tea.

But this Ding Du is stupid, but he really doesn't have to say that he lives in a dilapidated house, and he helps the poor people when he pays his salary, and he is a good person, just a guest for dinner, which is not a big deal, so he admires the other party's character.
